Ngl I used to get tempted to increase weights every time I went to the gym 😭 but lately I've been focusing more on getting my form right first. Some exercises feel completely different when you actually slow down and pay attention to the movement. I don't wanna develop bad habits just because I'm rushing to get stronger. How did you guys learn proper form when you were beginners?

Honestly watching videos and recording my own sets helped me notice mistakes I couldn't feel while lifting

I started using mirrors to check my posture but getting a trainer to correct me was even better

Slow reps are underrated because you actually feel which muscles are working
